How to add/upload an audio or sound file or "IVR Recording"

This guide is for users who wish to add an audio file to their Metis account. We call them IVR Recordings or Rec Files. Once added, they can be used in dial plans and periodic announcements for Queues.

Option 1: I already have an audio file

Using the left-hand nav menu, click IVR Recordings:

1. From the 'Upload Rec File' tab
2. Select the "Click here to upload a sound file"
3. Using your file explorer, select the file you wish to upload and click submit
4. Wait for the upload to complete. Green success feedback will appear once the upload is complete

You can download your audio files in the View Rec Files tab. There is currently no server-side validation for the audio file format. Please test them to ensure successful playback.
